Wallabies Shattered After Last-Gasp Loss to Lions

‘If you think there’s not going to be a lot on the line next week you’re kidding yourself,’ said Captain Harry Wilson.

The Wallabies have suffered a heart-breaking series loss to the British and Irish Lions after letting slip an 18-point lead to crash to a 29-26 defeat in the final minute of their second Test at the MCG.

The Australians looked set to level the series after a rousing opening 30 minutes but the Lions roared back with fullback Hugo Keenan scoring with 45 seconds left on the clock for his team to take the lead for the first time in the match.
